EditBug:10072 ISBN validator blow up

• EditBug:10072 ISBN validator blow up OPEN I wanted to change this pub from a Novel to Anthology and got the following error. As a temporary fix I changed the ISBN from 075640410X to 075640410X-xxxx so the validator code would not try to process it. See the bug notes for the python details.
